Event Description
Beyond Revenue Collections 101, Recovering Revenue by Collecting the Tough Stuff (OR NOT)
This webinar will provide you a behind-the-scenes tour by some of Illinois most seasoned collectors of tough-to-collect debt as well finance professionals who know what systems and controls need to be in place to avoid accruing a lot of bad debt. From small towns to large cities or park districts, whether you are overwhelmed by how to approach a growing pile of bad debt or you have a small amount of debt nagging to get off your CAFR, this webinar will provide participants at the onset with a pamphlet of “Illinois Local Government Collections Best Practices”.
Based on that foundation, the panel of experts will provide insights on addressing collection challenges and answering your questions, including but not limited to, how to collect bad debt for municipal-operated water, electric, and natural gas utilities, collecting locally administered taxes like food and beverage, places of eating, municipal motor fuel, and title tax, collections of a variety of local government fees including park district fees, and collecting bad debt when a fee or taxpayer is bankrupt. Panelists will share important information related to managing bad debt, automating collections, and the rules of law for collecting from debtors that are inside and outside of Illinois.
